The Most Chocolatey Double Chocolate Muffins

These fluffy and moist double chocolate muffins are made entirely from scratch in just over 30 minutes. They're perfectly chocolatey without being too rich for breakfast.

Ingredients
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour (208g)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon table salt
½ cup natural cocoa powder (50g)
½ cup very hot or boiling water (118ml)
½ cup canola or vegetable oil (118ml)
1 cup sour cream (240g) (see note)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided (340g) (I like to use a blend of mini and regular-sized chocolate chips

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:51 Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a 12-count muffin tin (see note) with paper liners.
00:55 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
01:20 Pour cocoa powder into a separate heatproof bowl or large measuring cup. Carefully pour very hot or boiling water overtop and whisk until mixture is smooth.
02:04 Add oil to cocoa powder mixture and whisk in (it will separate, this is fine) then add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly combined.
04:00 Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and use a spatula to gently fold together until about halfway combined. Add 1 ½ cups (255g) of chocolate chips and continue to fold batter together until chocolate chips are well distributed and batter is just combined.
05:02 Portion batter into muffin tin, filling ⅔ of the way full, then sprinkle muffin tops with remaining chocolate chips.
05:32 Bake in center rack of 375F (190C) oven for 17-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist fudgy crumbs.
05:42 Allow muffins to cool in their tin for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Muffins may also be wrapped and frozen for several months.

Sour Cream
You may substitute full-fat plain Greek yogurt instead.

Muffin Tin
This recipe makes 18 muffins and a typical muffin tin holds only 12. If you have two tins, divide the batter into the two tins and bake one tray at a time. If you only have one tin, bake the first batch, allow the muffins to cool 10 minutes, carefully remove them to a cooling rack and allow the tin to cool completely before baking the remaining batter.
